Ray of Sunshine

This was created using the Prima Madeline Collection for the August Prima Build A Page (BAP) challenge. I've been saving this collection for almost a year. Shame on me! What was I thinking? Beautiful paper is not good just sitting - it needs to be cut up.

This was a photo I took of a friends darling daughter.

The BAP challenge design was created by Marie-Nicolas Alliot. Thank you for creating such a unique and bold design.

I used a ton of Matt finish Mod-Podge on this layout. I love Mod-Podge. I used Mod-Podge as a kid on school projects and scouting projects fairly often. I love it even still. It helps me reconnect with little 10 yr old Jen-Jen. My husband probably prefers me to do a little less reconnecting with little 10yr old Jen-Jen thinking she's a little too predominant in the house. LOL

None-the-less, I'm a scissors, glue and paperdoll sort of person even after all these years. Say "hello" to your inner child.

Add some molding paste, gesso and bling and be done.
Very fun page for me to work on.

Please visit my blog for the details of how I created my background, photos and general Jen blabber - a carry over from my grade school chit chat days I guess.

my inner child and I love to play together and get messy; DD once told me I'm like a 4 year old!! YAY!! I am just loving the texture here and will definitely have to hit your blog to see exactly how you made this beautiful creation happen...

Really lovely and lot of textures i love the layout so very shabby chic and i know before i see it, know its Prima cuz all famous Prima layouts look like this .. i have a question!(hoped you'd answer).. How do you manage to capture layout do you use camera or scanner ?? and then how do you edit your photo ??or you just edit it or its the original ?? I really like your shots on your layouts because its very overwhelming and I like the sharpness through it and especially the lighting in the photo it really detailed the textures

Really outstanding, so yummy, soft and beautiful!!! (Love that you are a scissors, glue and paperdoll sort of girl, I am too, funny how that stays with a person forever!!!!) Anyway, I could look at this stunning page all day! :))

Well, I must say that you've out-Jenned yourself this time!!!! OMG, I love your "rays" and the softness of this page, it's like a box of nougats, if that doesn't sound too weird....
Any chance that I could see this one IP in oh, say, 16 days from now?
